The sequential use of ⁹⁹mTc-methylene diphosphonate(⁹⁹mTc-MDP) and ⁶⁷Ga imaging is thought to be useful to diagnose acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, and to determine whether it is active or inactive in chronic osteomyelitis. We compared the results obtained by the sequential use of ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and ⁶⁷Ga imaging with those obtained by the surgical culture and biopsy in 31 patients who were supposed to have the osteomyelitis and admitted to Pusan National University Hospital from July 1987 to July 1989. The results were as follows:l. According to the diagnosis at discharge, 4 cases were normal, 20 cases active osteomyelitis, and 7 cases inactive osteomyelitis. 2. Four normal cases were negative both with ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and with ⁶⁷Ga. Twenty cases of active osteomyelitis showed positive results both with 99mTc-MDP and with ⁶⁷Ga. And of 7 cases of inactive osteomyelitis, 6 cases showed positive ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and negative ⁶⁷Ga, 1 cases was negative both with ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and with ⁶⁷Ga. 3. It is suggested that in active osteomyelitis both ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and ⁶⁷Ga were positive, in inactive osteomyelitis ⁹⁹mTc-MDP positive and ⁶⁷Ga negative and in normal or wastive ostemyelitis both ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and ⁶⁷Ga negative. 4. The sequential use of ⁹⁹mTc-MDP and ⁶⁷Ga imaging was particularly useful to diagnose acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in the case of the obscure diagnosis and supposedly normal radiological finding and to determine whether chronic osteomyelitis is active or complicated by an acute flare-up.

Soft tissue reconstruction of the hand remains a challenge for the hand surgeon, who must choose whether to use a local flap, a distant flap or a free flap. Local flaps, derived from tissue immediately adjacent to the primary defect, are the first choice. But there is a shortage of skin in the hand and there are regions of the hand that should not be used as donor sites since cover of the resultant secondary defect with a skin graft would be inappropriate. We used island flaps for the small soft tissue defects in the hand which were difficult to cover with a conventional skin graft or local flap. The results were as follows; 1. The causes of the soft tissue defects were traumatic amputation in 4 cases, camptodactyly in 4 cases, replantation in 3 cases, infection in 3 cases and tumor in 1 case. 2. The sites of the soft tissue defects were thumb tip in 6 cases, fifth finger PIP joint volar aspect in 3 cases, index tip in 2 cases, thumb volar and dorsal surface in 2 cases, third and fourth MP joint dorsal surface in 1 case, fourth finger PIP joint volar aspect in 1 case and first interdigital web space in 1 case. 3. The donor flaps were fourth finger neurovascular island flap in 8 cases, reverse dorsal matacarpal flap in 5 cases and first dorsal metacarpal artery flap in 4 cases. 4. The sizes of the flap were from 1. 0×1. 5cm to 2.0×4.0cm and and average of 1.5×2.0cm. 5. The flaps were survive completely with a touch sensat,ion except 2 cases which were covered by reverse 5th dorsal metacarpal flap.
